Presentation on the photographic series

The Extension
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland?
Regarding Youth and their roots, the individual passport-picture of my grandaunt, from 1957, represented a time in her youth when she made the conscientious decision to leave Jamaica for the United Kingdom, as-part of the Windrush-Generation, determined to make a better life. In her toil, she met her husband, a Jamaican, who too left the island with the same aim. Their Union, and commonality of being Jamaican-Diasporas Navigating identities, together in a new land and country, brought forth 7 children, 2 of whom are pictured in the second-photograph of the series. They represent the first-generation of the youth and their roots to be born in the United Kingdom. One of the daughters pictured, spawned children of her own, where one of her sons married a native of English soil. Together, the individual-and-generational experiences, of each photograph, represent the fabric and extension of our family, being Jamaican-Diasporas in the United Kingdom.
